The threes were definitely bothersome. 3 point shooting is probably the last skill he should be working on right now.
And then this was released this morning:

Coach wants me to shoot the three ball, so I'm still trying to find my spots and where to do it
I'm still not even comfortable being out there, but coach wants me to do it, so I'm going to try to get it down
From Smart-
I didn't want to see it, but he was going to shoot it anyways. You don't find too many guys who love to rebound but can also shoot from distance. He's a unique guy.
What he needs to do is work on his post game. I told him I don't want him hanging out too much on the perimeter shooting jump shots because in game No. 35 on the road somewhere, you won't be able to find that jump shot.
The conflicting statements from Cousins and Smart are really confusing. I get the feeling that Smart is too buddy-buddy to firmly put DMC in his place (which isn't behind the arc). I'm guessing that he won't have the guts to bench one of Tyreke or Marcus by the time the season rolls around as well.
